Joshua 22:23

That we have built us an altar to turn from following the LORD, or if to offer thereon burnt offering or meat offering, or if to offer peace offerings thereon, let the LORD himself require it;

KJV

et si ea mente fecimus ut holocausta, et sacrificium, et pacificas victimas super eo imponeremus, ipse quærat et judicet :

Vulgate

καὶ εἰ ᾠκοδομήσαμεν αὑτοῖς βωμὸν ὥστε ἀποστῆναι ἀπὸ Κυρίου τοῦ θεοῦ ἡμῶν, ὥστε ἀναβιβάσαι ἐπ’ αὐτὸν θυσίαν ὁλοκαυτωμάτων ὥστε ποιῆσαι ἐπ’ αὐτοῦ θυσίαν σωτηρίου, Κύριος ἐκζητήσει.

LXX

that we have built us an altar to turn away from following Jehovah; or if to offer thereon burnt-offering or meal-offering, or if to offer sacrifices of peace-offerings thereon, let Jehovah himself require it;

ASV
